Drury, John G.
Note
Colored pictorial map of Japan and Korea, in a series of Mem-o-Maps by John G. Drury of the 214th Ordnance Battalion US Government, produced for military personnel during the Second World War. Mem-O-Maps' purpose was as a souvenir map on which troops could keep trace of their ‘adventures’ and movements. The maps represent an important historical period and integrate pictorial and geographical elements in a unique way. The use of cartoons and familiar map shapes used to show the conditions and experiences that the troops must have faced in reality, also shows memorable spots, wildlife and banners "came in on good ship" and "departed on good ship". The legend encouraged service men to note where they “landed or anchored” and when, as well as where they “bivoucked or stationed” while there. Includes a decorative compass rose and the title in Japanese. Relief shown pictorially.

Jones, Denis M.
Note
From Roderick Barron: "Extremely uncommon historical and pictorial map of the Yorkshire City of Leeds, the design of Yorkshire architect & cartographer, Dennis Mason Jones [1908-2010]. It was published at fellow pictorial mapmaker Kerry Lee’s Blandford Studio workshop in London in about 1948-9, where Jones resided briefly after the war. It formed one of the series of decorative maps published by Lee’s company, Pictorial Maps Ltd in the late 1940’s which included Oxford, Cambridge & Stratford-upon-Avon. Following a career in the family architectural practice in Leeds, in retirement Jones would return to his mapmaking interests, designing and publishing a series of Heritage Maps - pictorial maps of historic British cities. He also received map commissions from such luminaries as the Duke of Edinburgh and Walt Disney (a map of British Castles for the Epcot Centre). He died in 2010, aged 91. Mason’s Leeds map would seem to be considerably rarer than Kerry Lee’s other Pictorial Maps Ltd publications of the immediate post-war period."
